Question

Use any order, any grouping to write an equivalent expression: 3(2x) + 4y(5) + (4 x 2 x z)

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that the equivalent expression is:

$3\left(2x\right)+4y\left(5\right)+\left(4\times \:2z\right)=6x+20y+8z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$3\left(2x\right)+4y\left(5\right)+\left(4\times \:2z\right)$

Remove parentheses: (a) = a

$=3\times \:2x+4\times \:5y+4\times \:2z$

Multiply the numbers: 3 ×  2 = 6

$=6x+4\times \:5y+4\times \:2z$

Multiply the numbers: 4 × 5 = 20

$=6x+20y+4\times \:2z$

Multiply the numbers: 4 × 2 = 8

$=6x+20y+8z$

Thus, we conclude that the equivalent expression is:

$3\left(2x\right)+4y\left(5\right)+\left(4\times \:2z\right)=6x+20y+8z$
